The primary goal of bilingual education is teaching English. Research shows that students in bilingual programs equal or outperform their peers in English by 5th grade.

We need to provide incentives for and prepare more bilingual teachers rather than waiting until high school foreign language classes to teach literacy and the value of native languages.
